Prince of Wales V Queen Mary

I gave birth in December to my baby at Prince of wales.


I have priase for some of the nurses and midwives who tried to support me, but the language and cultural divide at most times was too great.


It was not ideal being in a ward with 10 other women, all Chinese, all silent (why the hell is that?). WHile I was in active labour with no support from hubby (not allowed in) and groaning and yelling my way through the contractions. I was not allowed to have gas until I was in the delivery room, and they wouldnt wheel me there until i was 3 cm dialated. Hubby was finally allowed to be by my side when I was 10cm.


I had to deal with insensitive midwives who giggled while they chatted to each other whilst I was int he middle of intense final stages contractions. Screaming at "that stupid B***h to shut the f**k up" helped them take me seriously (she rapidly left the room, not to be seen again!)


SO I would love anyone's experiences with Queen Mary. I hear they let hubby in?

Visitors?

ANtenatal care?

ANy help would be great - BB 3 due in May.
